Stump puffballs (Lycoperdon pyriforme) grow on dec Stump puffballs (Lycoperdon pyriforme) grow on decaying tree stumps in large clusters. They start off looking like regular mushrooms (see photo from the very same log as the video) but throughout the fall and winter, they mature and their exterior “skin” turns brittle and papery. They develop a hole on top, and the “dust” you see in the video is millions of spores! In addition to a human finger, rain or animals can also help to release the spores.
